***Official*** England in India 2016/17

Dharmasena gave stokes out for LBW and somehow gaffney agreed.

But as stokes hit it wasn't LBW therefore stokes was not out and decision should have been overturned.

India should have then had to use their review for the catch in that decision imo.

We would have had a review left for that howler on broad and could have got a few more runs.

The most shocking part of that process was that Stokes would have been out if the catch wasn't taken. Clown shoes umpiring all round.

Not much reverse in both games. Mints, lip balm and zippers on trousers needed.

I have a feeling Shami will be our leading wicket taker in the 4th innings.

Probably best have a good scratch then - that should make the feeling go away

 

[91Jmay]

Kohli in god mode at the moment. Just special batting. Big 4 well and truly in play now. India dominant. Can declare at lunch with lead of 400. Have a chance to win it tomorrow

 

[Contra]

lol that was a helicopter shot to one that kept low, incredible.

I will have a good 'scratch' when he destroys stumps with reverse swing on day five.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Decent days cricket that. Tight and well fought by both sides. Shame we ****ed it up and lost the game in the last session of day 2.

 

[vcs]

Well done. We avoided doing anything stupid after going 3-down, now we're very much in control. Hoping for a n.o. century from Kohli tomorrow.

Ashwin looking so relieved at not having to bat today

The bloke clearly needs a good rest - selectors should give him a month off

 

[mackembhoy]

Like it would change the result.

Well I've seen it happen before and thoughts it's unfair that a team loses a review for a **** umpiring call.

 

[GIMH]

Anderson up to his usual shenanigans. Needs to be bounced and hit in the head by Shami and Yadav instead of a verbal response from Kohli.

Not sure whether to berate you for your lack of class or lol at the prospect of an Indian seamer bowling an aggressive bouncer

 

[indiaholic]

Hey did you see the bouncer Sreesanth bowled at Kallis?

More salt in that post than the entire Indian Ocean

England benefited from it once and I thought it was wrong then.

The umpires gives it out for one thing. Can't just then go your wrong mate give it out for this instead.

The review is to give conclusive proof the on-field decision is right to uphold a review or overturn.

The on-field decision was wrong and so overturn.

Yes it's a lengthy process to achieve the right result, but reviews are important and a team shouldn't lose if the on-field decision is wrong.

Why the **** Gaffney agreed it was LBW was the funniest thing mind

 

[mackembhoy]

Umm reviews exist to reach the correct decision.. The correct decision was reached.

I'm fully aware of that.

It's not the point I'm making.

But Stokes was lbw. I don't get this. The ball hit the pad first, right?

 

[Burner]

In a sense Varun Aaron stole Broad's manliness that day.

Will that change the climate?
